Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier fighter biplane Grumman F3F-2 in 1:48 scale from Academy. It is a rebox of the proven injection mold originally developed by Accurate Miniatures, which Academy completes with its own packaging. According to the available data the set holds sprues of light gray plastic and of clear parts, a photo-etched part (a brass fret), waterslide decals and a mask. Check the exact package contents and the number of marking options against the manufacturer's part number for this item.
The Grumman F3F was the last biplane fighter of the US Navy and one of the last fighter biplanes anywhere. It served in the second half of the 1930s, still before the arrival of monoplane fighters. The F3F-2 version received a more powerful Wright radial engine and represented the peak of this family's development. Its characteristic features were the retractable landing gear, an all-metal fuselage with fabric covering on the wings and a rugged structure suited to carrier operations aboard aircraft carriers.
Cut the parts from the sprues and glue clean joints with liquid modeling cement for plastic. On a biplane, take care over the correct alignment of the upper wing and the struts - preparing a simple guide jig will help. Glue the canopy glazing with canopy glue and make use of the enclosed mask. Apply a primer before painting, ideally with an airbrush. Prewar US Navy machines as a rule carried striking colorful markings (yellow wing surfaces, colored stripes) - lay the decals over a gloss coat and bring out the panel lines with a fine wash.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
